Photos of the total lunar eclipse

I just took some photos of the total lunar eclipse using my OlympusC-770 Ultra Zoom camera. 10x optical zoom is insufficient for photos of the moon. I ended up using the "Super Zoom" mode which crops the image to 1600x1200 while possibly zooming a bit more. I'm not really happy with these images, but I guess they're not too bad based on friends' reactions and considering they come from a consumer camera.
